Should I get into an MBA at Sydenham or try for an MSc. in Finance at JBIMS?

RD

Anyone but you can decide what’s best for you. Only you can make an informed decision based on your expectations and ability to take risks. However, I will recommend you opt MSc in Finance if you are sure about your career in the Finance sector and are ready for Finance roles. In case you are not very sure, try contacting some seniors from the institute or doing some research on LinkedIn. If even after researching your gut is not very sure about Finance then opt for a core MBA only. 

By taking MBA, you can test your inclinations throughout the first year and find out if Finance is really your cup of tea rather than joining an MSc and regretting it later. A slight comparison between the 2 courses is given below

Brand: Brand-wise MBA/PGDM of Sydenham is a much older and bigger name in comparison to the MSc Finance of JBIMS.

Scope: The MSc in Finance at JBIMS has a much greater scope than MBA from Sydenham.

At JBIMS, both MMS and MSc Finance offer similar opportunities. Although many students exclusively target MSc. In finance, there tends to be an obvious preference for MMS. So in the near future either MSc Finance could be a separate course from MMS or even be discontinued. Not much can be said about this. So the only factor you should consider while deciding is your own inclinations.

Which college is the best JBIMS or SIMSREE in terms of placements for a marketing specialization as a fresher?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : June 20th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

There is a difference between JBIMS and Sydenham. But we need to understand it from different viewpoints. 

When it comes to admitting students, at least for this year, the process is the same. Someone with a 99.9+ will get JBIMS and someone with a 99.8 will end up with Sydenham. The difference between 99.8 and 99.9 in terms of ability and aptitude is negligible. One person got a few more questions correct on that particular day. That's it. 

So if you look at the top students of JBIMS and top students of Sydenham, the difference is barely perceptible. JBIMS has been in the top ranks for a long time and will continue to do so. I don't really see Sydenham taking that position. If JBIMS moves out of CET centralized process, then yes, Sydenham will be the top institute purely through CET. There is a difference in the environment. There is something about JBIMS that makes it stand out from all other MS offering institutes and I think it is the kind of work alumni have done in the industry and the fact that some of the professors teach only at JBIMS. They will not go to other places. Yes, there are a few who teach at both JBIMS and Sydenham. Maybe, because of this reason, every year, you will find at least 4-5 students of SIMSREE taking CET again and trying for JBIMS.

Get ready to fire your management skill. Reach us and confirm your seat for top B-school in India. You will get the choices of college based on your profile. To make it possible, reach us immediately to process your application. Thanks and all the best.

Which one should I choose, IIM Raipur or SIMSREE (Sydenham)? I am an average mechanical engineering graduate. I have offers from both of them. Which one should you suggest?

MS
Manjot Singh Posted On : January 21st, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2022)

If you choose IIM Raipur you can definitely grab the IIM tag. But in reality, SIMSREE is one of the oldest B Schools and thus has a better plethora of opportunities. Joining SIMSREE is a better choice because

  • It is one of the oldest colleges in India
  • It is located in Mumbai, the financial capital of India 
  • 100% placement record
  • Amazing ROI 
  • Small-batch size
  • Decent faculty base

You can avail so many opportunities by joining SIMSREE but will only get an IIM tag if you join IIM Raipur. Moreover, you will be burdened with repaying the loan. IIM Raipur might also not have top firms visit the campus for placements due to its location.

So it’s better to join SIMSREE and focus on the technical aspect of an MBA than join IIM Raipur just for the brand name.

Which one to choose? XIMB vs Sydenham vs IMT Ghaziabad?

PM
Priyank Mishra Posted On : March 14th, 2022
studied at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

XIMB is a better brand among these colleges. It also offers a better average CTC to the students. As per the 2021 placement report, XIMB average package is INR 15.51 LPA. 

IMT Ghaziabad is also a reputed B-School and ranks among the top 15 in the country. The average CTC for IMT G is INR 12.4 LPA. If you are interested in a marketing specialization, IMT can be a great option. One of the disadvantages of IMT is its huge batch size of almost around 700. 

Sydenham offers a good ROI. As you can complete an MBA within 5 lakhs and the average CTC offered to students is around INR 10 LPA. But it’s difficult to get Sydenham, as the number of seats is limited for students without a Maharashtra domicile. 

Between XIMB and IMT, you can choose the former due to the lower batch strength and better average CTC.
